LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems announced plans at the Mid-America Trucking Show, to manufacture air disc brakes in North America starting in the fourth quarter of 2004.

Production will take place at an existing Bendix manufacturing plant in Frankfort, Ky. And total investment for tooling and related costs will be approximately $3 million.

Bendix expects production volume for its ADB 225 and its newest design option, the Bendix ADB 22X air disc brake to easily meet the anticipated increase in demand over the next few years.
